Week 11
“A new command I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” —John 13:34–35
“I pray not only for these followers, but also for those who will believe in me through their teaching. Father, I pray that they may all be one in us. As you are in me and I am in you, that they also may be one in us so that the world may believe that you sent me.” —John 17:20–21
Unity among believers is one of the most powerful witnesses to the world. Jesus didn’t just pray for our individual faith—he prayed for our oneness.
A Spotfire provides the context to grow in this unity. As we commit to one another in love, we reflect the very heart of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Spirit in perfect relationship.
When we love each other well, the world sees something different. Something holy. Something true. Through our love and unity, people will believe that Jesus truly is the Son of God.
